1987 Topps #397 (Custom)

Type: Custom Card

Acquired: Bought Online

Here is another great looking custom card that I bought off ebay for a couple bucks. This card serves as a "What If...?" type of card. What if the Bucs didn't screw Bo over? What if he decided to play for the Buccaneers? What if Bo dedicated his career to football? These sadly are all questions that will never be answered, but what we do know is that Al Davis and the Raiders took a chance on Mr. Jackson in the 7th round of the 1987 NFL draft and it was one of the most electrifying careers in the history of the game!

1986 Topps #387 (Custom)

Type: Custom Card

Acquired: Bought Online

This card serves as a proper rookie card for Bo Jackson. You see, back in 1986 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the #1 pick in the NFL draft. They selected Bo Jackson with that #1 pick which was a no-brainer to any NFL fans at the time. Problem was that Bo told them not to pick him. He did not want to play for the Buccaneers after they took him on a trip to their team facilities. The team told Bo that the NCAA had approved the trip, but it turned out that they had never received approval and Bo was banned from finishing his final year of baseball for the Auburn Tigers. No wonder Bo refused to play for the Bucs! It was a wasted pick and the next year Bo was drafted by the Raiders and the rest is history!

2005 Topps Pristine #101

Type: Numbered Base Card

Acquired: Bought Online

Here is another great looking card from the 2005 Topps Pristine set. Not sure why this one is numbered and the last one I posted was not? Anyway this card is 1 of 1999 produced and I absolutely love the image they used for the front of the card. I thought I had seen all of the card photos of Bo in his Auburn uniform, but this card proved me wrong. the great photo in addition to the retro, chromed out graphics really make for a nice card and a great addition to anyone's baseball card collection.

2005 Upper Deck NFL Legends Football #74

Type: Numbered Parallel

Acquired: Bought Online

This is another card that I have not found any info about online. It is a die-cut version of the 2005 Upper Deck NFL Legends Football Bo Jackson base card. It is labeled as "1/1" and I have been unable to find any other cards from this set that match this look. I am truly lost on this one, but I believe it was a home made variant. Any info regarding this card would really be appreciated! Besides the bewilderment, this is actually a nice looking card from front to back.
